Thus, I am beginning to suspect that there is at least a sizable man-made component that factors into Galveston's waters being brown (if said component is not the entire reason). Think about it; there are so many beaches across the world that still have clear water even with rivers emptying into them, large ones too.
The stuff in the water that turns it brown when it rains mostly comes down the rivers, not from the waves eroding the shores of the Sound. When there's a lot of runoff and the rivers are running high, sediment gets swept down from the vast amounts of land they drain, and carried down to the Sound--more than the waves on the Sound ever could dislodge, even in the wildest of storms and the highest of tides.
